The game in the series that seems most accessible, and if you've avoided it up until this point, I'd recommend picking it up if sniping or large areas appeal to you.

The overall graphics of Medieval Total War are nice, but nothing spectacular, although, it should be said that the absolute addictiveness of the game play will have you overlooking the lackluster look.

If you were scared off by some of the puzzle-solving elements of "BG II" you might find the action-oriented aspects of Icewind Dale more to your liking.

Great story, missions lack direction, but once you get used to the feel of Hitman it is really a great game.

A potentially great game marred by bugs and funky play balance, Sea Dogs is still not a failure. Visually, sailing around is breathtaking, and the gameplay has moments of brilliance.

Think of this as a cake-baking contest, and Lionhead showed up with a cake mix still in the box. The final quality depends on how you mix it, bake it, and frost it.

A great blend of puzzle solving with a great story. The single player is really a lot of fun, which can't be said about many games these days.

The new building sets and weaponry make the purchase well worth it and after playing for a while with the new farm-queue, you'll wonder how you ever played the game without it!

If you want your challenge to come from a game that gets your rocket-launcher firing, grab your $20 and head to the store.

In terms of gameplay, the beauty of DMFBMX is that, just like Tony Hawk, once you learn a few of the cooler moves there is nothing more fun than just biking around pulling off tricks.

Combines classic arcade fun with some real time strategy elements, creating a game that not only is fun but makes you think about how you're going to play this next move.

If you enjoyed the original missions and you're striving for more, you'll enjoy what this expansion pack offers.

If word gets out that the single player experience is a bit short, and there is no included multplayer, then trouble is on the horizon for the developer and publisher.

Hell...the levels are fun, as well as the bonus levels, but when the game ends there is a very empty feeling. If not more levels included there should at least be a level editor.

Iron Storm is fun and you'll be compelled to continue play, but there's nothing much to move it into standing glory above all others.

Offers up a mixed bag - it's a title that offers an excellent plot, creepy sound effects and responsive gameplay. These good features are then marred by the games poor graphics.

Its gameplay was relatively good, but there is still room for improvement. The sound quips in the game could use some improvement and features such as the course editor could clearly use more work.

It still lacks what PC RPG fans have truly been waiting for, a fully interactive, epic, full-on gorgeous 3D RPG.

Could do with a few more chances to explore, make decisions, and otherwise go beyond the rigid confines of a linear story.

Short but sweet.

From the first time you blast someone with an SML3 Plasma Rifle, to the 539th time you throw a "Triple Hit Haymaker", you'll have fun. You'll wish you could do more, but you'll have fun.

If you're new to the PC Rollercoaster world, then SimCoaster is probably the easiest and most finely tuned game in the "genre".

So much control is lost in the shift to PC that the entire game suffers.

If you can ignore the bugs, the SFC V2 is one of the best games released in the past little while. However, in reality it isn't possible to ignore bugs in a game so my advice is buyer beware.

For those looking for a simple 'opponent' to play against, you might be better off saving your money and simply playing chess online. As its multiplayer capabilities have shown, Chessmaster 8000 does not focus on this aspect of the game.

Simply too little, too late... When compared against some of the established leaders in strategy games, Call to Power II falls glaringly short and if you're looking to purchase a new strategy game, your money would probably be better spent elsewhere.

This should have been included with the original game, or as a free download a month or two after Q3A came out.

The game would have been a great freebie to offer as a download. Episodic? Sure! Packed in with "Half-Life Platinum"? You betcha. Slap a price tag on it? No.
